It needs more power.
It needs extra power to unstick the floats from the water. :unsure:

There is nothing like a dream to create the future.

Electrickery is the work of the devil.

... Aye, mo' power could do it. I think she just about makes it off the water. It's quite different taking off from water with a cross breeze than land, as you get light on the floats the wind wants to turn you, the floats and rudder hold you shraight to a point where the wind overcomes the floats and you get very sudden un predictable changes in direction.
2 positives.... 1) the mounting points I made on the outside of the floats ( because the factory inserts didn't line up with the fuselage mount points ) have survived the crash more or less unscathed, also I've got the rudder working effectively now. The struts are more or less straight now and nearly ready to remount for........ number IV..
